Episode #1087

[Uncle Roger]

I am slightly familiar with it but I am not enough of a fan to purchase her non DS material.

I know that you'll appreciate this, Bob. The 90210 neighborhood where KLS and Pomegranate Press reside is almost directly across the street from the house where George Reeves died.

Uncle Roger, 

I wonder if the celebrity tour guides point out those points of interest to the Dark Shadows and Superman fans as the tour bus drives down that particular street?

[dom]

That would be me, lol, and yes, I would be thrilled (tho I wouldn't let it show).

[Uncle Roger]

 I don't know if there is a tour that covers that specifically but the death tour might. (This is California where even the coroner's office has a gift shop.) There's a lot of interesting stuff in that section of Beverly Hills. Lucille Ball, Jack Benny and James Stewart lived a few blocks away. The gated community (where the extremely rich live) is up the hill.

There could be a good "death tour" in Collinsport also.  Imagine the tour guide pointing out where past and present residents of Collinsport met their deaths in The Collinsport Inn, The Blue Whale, the docks along the harbor, the site where the Todd's antique shop burned down, etc.

Of course, the Collinwood estate, where most of the murders took place, would be strictly off-limits to any sightseers, unfortunately.   

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I don't think that Nancy Barrett would have been especially pleased either.

What! Send the mobs with firebrands after KLS ASAP!! 

[Uncle Roger]

I remember having a discussion with Stuart Manning where we both came to the conclusion that Nancy could very likely sue over her depiction in the book. Probably not worth her time.
